Wordle isn’t just another online distraction—it’s a legitimate brain teaser, courtesy of The New York Times. Each morning, a fresh five-letter puzzle lands in front of you. The challenge? Solve it before you use up your six attempts.
If you’re determined to maintain your winning streak, you don’t have to go it alone—hints and the solution for puzzle #1515 (August 12, 2025) are provided below.
The rules are straightforward: six guesses to identify the word. After each guess, you receive immediate feedback. Yellow letters signal that you’ve chosen the correct letter, but it’s not in the right spot.
Green letters mean you’ve placed the right letter in the right place. Grey letters? Those aren’t in the world at all. The game might look simple at first glance, but it has a way of challenging even the sharpest minds.
